Matix Thorne
Pyraminx · top 9.3% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016THOR07
Matix Thorne has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.32, set at Puget Sound Fall 2016, puts him in the top 9.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,401st in the United States. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2016, he has put 63 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 34.33 in October 2016 to 12.50, a 64% improvement. Matix has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
